Donna, 42, who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, holds the Guinness World Record as the world's biggest mother.

She weighed 520lb - 37 stone - when she gave birth to her daughter, Jacqueline, who is now aged three.

Donna tips the scales at 600lb - 43 stone - and she hopes to break the 1000lb or half-a-ton mark in two years.

Donna, of New Jersey in the US, eats whole cakes and bags of doughnuts and tries to move as little as possible.

She said: "I'd love to be 1000lb. It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down.

"I have to eat 12,000 calories a day. I hope to achieve my goal in two years."

Donna runs her own website where people pay to watch her stuff her face with fast food or see her wash her body.

The cash helps fund the family's £400 bill for their weekly food that Donna carries in her mobility scooter.She met her partner Philippe Gouamba, 49, seven years ago on a dating site for plus-size people.

Philippe, who weighs 13stone, is a fat admirer and only looks at a woman if she weighs more than 28stone.

Donna said: "I think he'd like it if I was bigger. He's a real belly man, and completely supports me."

But Donna, who has a son Devin, 14, from a previous relationship, insists she is healthy.

She said: "My favourite food is sushi, but unlike others, I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go."

Donna's obsession with food began in childhood. Her mum made big meals for her and her brothers.

By the time Donna was nine, she weighed 13 stone. She said: "Food was my mum's way of showing she loved us, she wanted us to eat, and she was very protective of us. She would argue with doctors who said it was dangerous."

Her mum died and her dad married a woman who put the children on a diet.

Donna later started to take diet pills when she grew older. Between the ages of 14 and 18, she slimmed down to 11stone, but was unhappy.

She said: "I was always dieting, but I wasn't very thin. It made me miserable. I thought about food all the time."

After she left school, Donna got a desk job. She said: "I felt so much better when the weight came back. It felt like who I was meant to be."

A year later, Donna, aged 19, met her first husband, who worked as a chef.

She said: "He would come home at 3am and bring the leftovers with him.

"We'd eat piles of steak, mash and gravy with butter. I started gaining weight and my husband liked it. He said I was sexier and I felt happier."

Her marriage ended shortly after the birth of her son, Devin, and she turned to food. Aged 31, she weighed 43 stone.

Just before she was due to have a gastric band fitted, a friend died during her op.

Donna said: "It was a sign. It wasn't worth it. I like being the way I am."
